The first-order priority is to identify and protect the nesting habitat of the sea turtles on the
Indian coastline. This can be achieved through a full environmental audit of all port projects. If
the proposals discussed at the Goa symposium are accurate, no fewer than 331 ports are
planned, and notifications have been issued for over 200. The sale of coastal development
warrants an aggressive conservationist stance on the part of the ministry of Environment and
the Forests. To its credit, the MoEF has supported The International Sea Turtle Society in
organizing the global symposium, for the first time in the country. It must now strike a blow for
protection by enforcing environmental norms. For a start, it can declare the ‘no development
zone’ of 10 kilometres around turtle nesting beaches, and the 25 Km buffer zone that
conservation biologists suggest. This needs to cover all new post projects and the expansion of
existing ones. A second priority relates to fisheries. While artisanal low-intensity fishing in
sensitive zones does not appear to be unsustainable, the catchall ferocity of mechanized boats
is killing vast number of turtle. A regime of restrictions is, therefore, justified. This should set
seasonal curbs for intensive commercial fishing, enforce regulations on turtle excluder devices,
and control trawler density. Only determined measures can save these wonderful creatures.
